Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With its delicate aromas of flowers, fresh greens and a hint of mint, you might expect this to be a light, delicate wine. But it’s broad and rather sweet, marked by flavors of ripe apples and vanilla. It comes across a bit soft on the finish, but luscious.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Starts off with apple and pineapple aromas, but quickly develops intensely mineral flavors to go alongside. Likewise, it seems round—almost fat—in the mouth at first, then finishes with refreshing acidity, a mouthwatering mix of sweet and tart.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Smells ripe and rich, with scents of baked apples and pineapples and a trace of honey, and the wine is plump in the mouth, full of citrus and melon flavors. Yet for some reason this sample lacked zip and verve to balance the fruit, ending somewhat short.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
In 2009, the Josephshöfer seems to offer the most mineral presence of the various von Kesselstatt GG bottlings, displaying an almost briny character at first, then molten rock tinged with hints of peach, orange and apple. The alcohol is only 12.5%, yet it comes across as full bodied, rich and creamy in texture, with a long, spice-driven finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Like the Josephshöfer bottling, von Kesselstatt’s 2009 GG from the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen boasts a salty minerality that underscores the ripe flavors of peach and orange zest. It’s medium to full in body, and nearly bone dry, with a long, mouth-watering finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Smells like a mix of apricots, pineapples and pears, with a judicious sprinkling of cinnamon. On the palate, the spice and earth components really kick in, adding richness to the fruit and honey flavors. Finishes with lingering sweetness. Approachable now, but should age beautifully.

A pleasant, lightweight Riesling, but one without a lot of intensity. Modest pear, melon and apple flavors finish soft and easy. Imported by Valckenberg International, Inc.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This lovely auslese starts with scents of bergamot, apple and slate, then delivers full-bore pineapple and supersweet apple flavors on the plate. Despite the intense sweetness, the wine is wonderfully balanced, thanks to zippy, pink grapefruit-like acids. Imported by Valckenberg International, Inc.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This lightweight, off-dry Riesling captures a bit of the region’s slaty minerality, then balances that with ginger, spice and citrus flavors. Remains fresh and clean on the finish.
